So AW, what will you be doing on 11/11/11?

whyfi

I'm undecided on whether this is an opening day kind of thing, or a wait until the GoTY edition kind of thing...

armchair_warrior

After preordering witcher 2 etc.. and tons of others. I still haven't played witcher 2 yet and tons of others. After that experience. I'll just wait till games are more mature. Bugs are worked out etc..

I spend probably more money on games than tons of others. but I'll probably wait unless the hype gets to me or goty edition comes out . which ever comes first.

whyfi

After watching this, I'm thinking that I'll be on it sooner rather than later...

Hopefully I will be welcoming my second child into the world on 11/11/11. He's due 11/9/11.

friscopete

that is Day 1 for me. I'm going to get it on one of the consoles because i don't think they have a Mac version?

armchair_warrior

Congrats! (but newborns sleep frequently, and video games are a good way of passing the time... )

I just can't do consoles. I guess that the gameplay, in this case, probably isn't going to take a huge knock, but the eyecandy probably will.

armchair_warrior

oh yeah congrats.

consoles suck cause of the controllers video might be subpar but controllers and lack of modding sucks even more.

friscopete

friend says i can dual boot my mac and run windows but that's a bit much for a game.

besides i played the last Marrowind game on the Xbox and it was good.

armchair_warrior

off course you can dual boot , macs run on pc hardware.

friscopete

have thought about getting one of those high end gaming laptops. maybe it's time!

armchair_warrior

gaming laptops still sucks ass. also dual boot seems fairly easy from the stuff i read. unless your mac(pc) hardware sucks ass no point lol.

I will absoutely be getting this game opening day. And then, much like for the firtst few months Oblivion was out, my wife and I will fight tooth and nail for the controller.

And our young children will go ignored.

Gaming laptops are expensive, for what they are... I think that I would look in to the dual-boot option, as AW mentions. Even if you need a new GPU, they're pretty reasonable for one that can play anything under the sun at a res of 1920*1200 or less.

As far as Elder Scrolls... now I'm itching... I'm actually thinking about another play-through of Oblivion. It's been ages, I only played through once, and I like the 'the more you use a skill, the better you get at it' leveling system. That, and I never really did play through the expansion packs.

Sounds like it's time for another PC/console for the household!

It is good that you are teaching them that video games were around before them, and should therefore come first.

ntfool

Exactly! They must know their proper place!

whyfi

I'm curious to hear some feedback on the game, but I'm betting that anyone with the game is going to be eyeballs deep in it for a little while longer... anybody?

stacey

This game is a sore spot with my son and I. After he broke night playing it the first day he is only allowed to have it on the weekend. Let's just say I'm not his favorite person right now

whyfi

So that's one ringing endorsement. Anybody else?

ntfool

Its fantastic.

Oh there are annoying little issues... I've gotten "stuck" behind staircases or something and have been forced to load from a previous save cause I couldn't get out. But the gameplay, storyline, graphics... fantastic.

What kids?

whyfi

I know that it can chew through your time, whether it's extra time or not (sleep?), but what would be your thoughts on only being able to play in one hour snippets? Exercise in frustration?
